00:00Meet the new title. Same as the old title. I bet the comments are going radio rental right now, but don't despair, dear viewer.
00:08This is the exact same Pitches video you've been used to for at least the last seven years of this YouTube channel's existence.
00:14We've just put Fantasy Booking in there just to try and tickle the algorithms bollocks a little bit more.
00:19Welcome to Nine Pitches. I'm here with Fraser, who's over there, dressed in blue.
00:24I'm here with Tom, who's over there, dressed in a slightly different shade of blue.
00:27Did you not get the memo about it? You're in a slight colour of blue.
00:30It's a navy blue. I've not got the memo, which is a shame.
00:33Anyway, we're here to talk about Survivor Series 2025. Tom Campbell, take your drink and suck it down, son.
00:38I will, mate.
00:39What's your thoughts on this four-match card?
00:41Oh, the four-match card. I mean, it'll still go on for like nine hours, complete with adverts.
00:46But I do like war games in general. I miss the classic Survivor Series, Libernation matches.
00:53You get it on SmackDown.
00:54I know, get it on SmackDown. What a lucky boy I was.
00:57But I do like a war games match. They are ripe for storyline shenanigans.
01:02I feel like we've run the course with the war games stuff.
01:06I feel like, on the complete opposite, I still like the match, but I feel like it's now gone the way of Hell in a Cell,
01:11where we've gone, okay, it's November. There's a faction. There's a faction.
01:16You're in war games rather than it be natural.
01:17And I feel like it's made it a bit of a challenge to actually look at the card and go,
01:21what do we actually want to happen?
01:23That's the struggle.
01:24Oh.
01:25That's like what we do.
01:26If you want to fight now between the pair of you, I'll just referee.
01:29Go on.
01:29Come on, then. Let's go.
01:31If Ross wasn't holding me back right now.
01:33Do you know what?
01:33You know what?
01:34Me and Kane from Fightful sorted our beef.
01:40You did.
01:40I've got beef to sort with you, brother.
01:42I'm with Fraser on this argument here.
01:45I think the storyline needs to necessitate the war games, not the war games necessitate just putting people in there just to make teams.
01:51That's where I am.
01:51Yeah, that's fair.
01:52Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
01:54But of course, this is nine pitches with fantasy book and putting the title.
01:57It's the same thing.
01:58Don't worry.
01:58It's the same thing.
01:59We'll go around in this orange Satsuma formation of a table.
02:03Flazer.
02:03Flazer.
02:04Flazer.
02:05Flazer Poitre.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Then Wastwet.
02:07Oh, then Tom Campbell.
02:09Tom Clamble.
02:09We'll do a pitch and we'll go back around in the Satsuma formation until we get to that magical number nine.
02:15But remember, everybody, it's not what we think is going to happen.
02:18It's what we want to happen.
02:21We're going to kick things off with John Cena versus Dominic Mysterio.
02:27Now, Dom obviously is looking to reclaim the Intercontinental title that he lost on an impromptu match on Raw just a few weeks ago.
02:34Now, prior to the match, Cena's backstage with Rey Mysterio, who is being very disrespectful towards his son.
02:39He's not being a nice dad at all like we know that Rey is.
02:44He says that Dom is just or Cena says that Rey needs to stop because Dom is just confused.
02:49He's a nice kid, really.
02:50And Dom actually reminds him of himself when he was younger.
02:53A little bit of ruthless aggression.
02:56In the background of this shot, we see Finn Balor and JD McDonough listening in.
03:00And they don't seem too happy with John Cena taking an interest in Dominic Mysterio.
03:04Now, fast forward to the match.
03:06We get a tracking shot of Dom as he's going to make his entrance.
03:10He stops in Gorilla and there's Rey.
03:12Rey has a word with him, but Dom spits in his face.
03:16Shoves him away.
03:18Dom then sort of doubles back and he doesn't go out through the main tunnel.
03:21He comes out into the arena in an Eddie Guerrero type lowrider car.
03:25So he's got the Eddie Guerrero entrance in San Diego.
03:29Cena gets to his entrance now.
03:31He comes with Rey.
03:32He's got the Juan Cena mask on.
03:35Throwback to back in the day when he was fired from WWE and a mysterious luchador turned up.
03:41They get to the match.
03:42It's a pretty good match.
03:43Cena's outsmarting all of Dom's tactics and thwarting all the attempts of cheating.
03:47This starts to infuriate Dom a little bit.
03:49As the match goes on, Dom calls to the back.
03:51Out comes the judgment day.
03:52They square up to Rey, which causes the ref to be a little bit distracted.
03:55With his back turned, Dom grabs the Intercontinental Championship and lines up to hit Cena.
04:00But Cena moves out the way and gets the ref knocked down instead.
04:05Judgment day gets in the ring.
04:06They start beating down Cena.
04:07Obviously, Super Cena powers through.
04:10He gets him and Rey, start triple teaming them.
04:12Rey hits a triple 619.
04:14I don't know how he quite manages it, but he does it.
04:16He hits all three, Dom, JD, and Finn on the ropes.
04:20Hits a 619.
04:21They all get up.
04:21Cena gets all three on his shoulders for a triple AA.
04:24Now, Dom slips off.
04:26So, he's not part of the AA.
04:28Cena hits the two of them.
04:29Dom gets to the corner.
04:30He's got the Mega Championship now.
04:32And he conks John Cena right in the head.
04:36Now, the referee is out.
04:38Dom pulls the referee's shirt off him and hands it to Rey.
04:41So, he forces his dad to make the count.
04:44We get one, two.
04:46Cena kicks out, obviously.
04:47How much do you hate your father?
04:51Is it very clear?
04:52You've pitched that.
04:53That's dark.
04:54It's quite dark.
04:55It's quite dark.
04:56Well, Cena kicks out because it's John Cena.
04:59So, Cena starts coming to life.
05:01He starts hitting the five moves of doom on Dom.
05:03He connects with all of them.
05:05One, two, kick out.
05:07Dom is not done yet.
05:08Cena then is shocked.
05:09Lifts him up.
05:10Hits another AA.
05:11He connects.
05:11And another two count.
05:13Rey is shouting at Cena to hit another.
05:15And he lifts Dom up again.
05:16And Dom gets his shoulder up once again.
05:18So, that's four AAs on Dom at this point.
05:21Cena can't quite believe it.
05:22The Judgment Day are back.
05:23They're surrounding the ring.
05:24But Dom yells at them to stay back.
05:26Him and Finn in a shouting match with each other.
05:28Dom and Finn are in a shouting match with each other.
05:30And Finn retreats from the ringside area.
05:32With Dom almost done, Cena runs the ropes to hit the five moves of doom.
05:35He does one shoulder tackle.
05:36Dom goes down.
05:38He goes for the other one.
05:39Dom just falls.
05:40Similar to like Okada and Kenny Omega.
05:42This is a big moment.
05:43He just drops because he's so tired.
05:45Cena then goes flying very comically.
05:47And lands perfectly for a 619 on the ropes.
05:51Dom gets up.
05:52Hits the 619.
05:54Climbs the turnbuckle.
05:55Hits a frog splash.
05:56And he covers John Cena while Rey Mysterio counts the three.
06:00Dom is still not really with it after the match.
06:03He's kind of knackered after all the AAs.
06:05Cena on his feet with Intercontinental Championship in hands.
06:08Hands it to Dom and reaches out his hand.
06:11Dom kicks it away and gives him a hug instead.
06:14He takes the Intercontinental title.
06:15And Cena raises his hand.
06:16Finn and JD storm the ring.
06:18Attack Dom, Cena and Rey.
06:19And the three men fight them off with Dom and Rey hitting stereo 619s.
06:23Which sets JD and Finn up for a double AA.
06:27Rey hands the Intercontinental title to Dom.
06:30The Mega Championship to Dom.
06:32And then puts his hand out for a handshake.
06:34Dom kicks it away and pushes his dad over again.
06:38You've done well.
06:39Yeah, we've got to keep that.
06:41Which is a weird moment because Dom has turned face to the crowd.
06:45But still doesn't quite want to be friends with his dad.
06:48Which following this, I would then segue into a Dom-Rey Mysterio feud going into WrestleMania.
06:54Because you can't have WrestleMania without a Mysterio match at this current era.
06:58Here, here.
06:58But it's kind of like a weird face turn for Dom.
07:01But he defeats Cena and gets the rub from Cena where he gets a big hand-raised moment.
07:05And then you get the Judgment Day turning on him.
07:07Yes.
07:07That's a big yes from me.
07:09I'm glad you said the turn, the re-turn happened.
07:11Or the re-hyphen turn.
07:12Yeah, yeah.
07:13Happened at the end.
07:13Oh, yeah.
07:14You can't go back on three years of storytelling.
07:16Because he has been getting, not largely, but he's getting louder babyface pops each week as Dom.
07:20Yes.
07:20People just understand what he is now.
07:22He's just a poo house.
07:23A lovable bad man.
07:24Exactly.
07:25Yeah.
07:25So the fact he's kicking his dad, I'm fully much on board with.
07:27I'm glad that you've picked up the mantle left by Andrew, who's obviously not here today.
07:30By going beat by beat by beat.
07:32Yeah, I had to.
07:32He breathed.
07:33Then he stepped forward.
07:34Yeah, I had to.
07:34I had to.
07:35Well done for filling Andrew's shoes.
07:37That's a yes from me.
07:39Yeah, I'm going to say yeah.
07:40I enjoyed it.
07:40I liked the little tease at the end where he kicks a hand away and hugs Cena.
07:46But then kicks a hand away and pushes his dad down.
07:49Because you can, you know, become a babyface.
07:52But that doesn't mean you still don't hate your dad.
07:54I mean, as far as I'm concerned, Ray's the heel.
07:57He's tormented Dom his whole life.
07:59You run the risk.
08:00You run the risk of making Ray a proper heel.
08:02He tweeted that he couldn't wait to beat his son.
08:06All I'm saying.
08:06Well, I mean, there is that.
08:08That was on WWE 2K13, wasn't it?
08:10That we know of.
08:10That we know of.
08:12He might have been doing the same on WrestleMania Challenge.
08:14It was unrelated statements.
08:16WWE 13 is out today.
08:18Can't wait to beat my son.
08:19That was two different statements.
08:23Dom is justified.
08:25It's a double yes.
08:26So you are justified in your pitch as well, sir.
08:29I don't know.
08:30Whoopsie.
08:30Haven't I said 2K13?
08:32What a virgin I am.
08:32You're very close.
08:33You're after that.
08:34WWE 13, wasn't it?
08:35That's a little bit of the stricts of yours.
08:36I think you're fine.
08:37It was 2K13.
08:39It wasn't 2K13.
08:40I've made a living off doing that.
08:41So don't take the piss too much.
08:42I hope someone's got fired for that, Belonda.
08:45We're in the match.
08:46I've gone very Cornish there.
08:48We're in the match beyond Porsche.
08:50Oh, a match beyond.
08:51The match beyond Porsche of the men's match.
08:53And we're reaching the final stages.
08:55Mine is much more big picture compared to Andrew slash Fraser over here.
08:59Roman Reigns is on a tear.
09:00Brock Lesnar is downed.
09:02The Brombrons are downed.
09:03Drew is felled.
09:05And then Roman delivers a massive spear to Logan Paul, who in turn just had been thwacked
09:10by both CM Punk and Cody Rhodes just before that move from the big dog.
09:15Logan Paul is dead.
09:17Roman goes to crawl towards Logan's corpse for the pinfall.
09:21But Jey Uso walks in his path and stops him from doing so.
09:25Jey gives Roman a little...
09:27And then heads for the top turnbuckle.
09:32He goes for an Uso splash for the final nail in Logan Paul's coffin
09:35to get the win, but he misses.
09:37And in the process, there's one of those RVD slash Montez Ford impacts on the mound.
09:42Oh, yeah, the bounce is up.
09:43And the bounce allows a miraculously recovered Brombreaker to steal him for a roll-up.
09:48And with the rest of the face team being held back by their heel counterparts,
09:51the heels get the biggest poo-house win of all.
09:54And it's all down to the ego of one Jey Uso, who is back to thinking he is Roman Reigns,
09:59which is what I thought they were doing a few weeks ago.
10:02It was compelling.
10:02And they seem to have given up on it in the favor of yee, which I'm not on board with.
10:07I was there.
10:08We were all there for the first couple of years for the bloodline.
10:11Jey Uso was the most compelling part of the bloodline in those first couple of years.
10:15And I want us to go back to that with him thinking he's Roman Reigns,
10:18and ultimately a heel turn coming, which I know makes no business sense,
10:21because I imagine they're still selling lots of merchandise and whatnot.
10:23But I'm here for storytelling, not for T-shirts.
10:26So WrestleMania, we get face Reigns against heel Jey Uso, who thinks he's Roman Reigns.
10:30I like it.
10:32Go on the Jey.
10:33It's a yes from me.
10:34Thank you, Tom.
10:34I'm ready to see Jey start that heel turn journey.
10:39And I think it's eerily similar.
10:41And my brains went to Survivor Series 2001.
10:44Mine hasn't.
10:45Where Jeff went to the top of the cage to do the swan turn, and missed it.
10:50It cost the Hardys the tag titles.
10:52And so that kind of sent them on a path of swatting.
10:54That's because he's wacky.
10:56Yeah, and he shouldn't have been wacky.
10:57He should have been sensible like his brother Matthew.
10:59Yeah, Jey is delusional here, not wacky.
11:01Yeah, but it's still a similar energy to getting to where you need to go.
11:05So I did like it.
11:06I mean, I like the pitch when you said Logan Paul is dead.
11:09It ended there, it would have been yes from me.
11:12Yes from me.
11:13No, I'm in full agreement.
11:14I think Jey Uso's character definitely needs a new element to it.
11:18It's getting boring.
11:19And I think this would be a good way to do it, and have it be his ego.
11:22That's the downfall.
11:24Then you do have those segues into different feuds, like the Roman Reigns one you mentioned.
11:27But you've also got the rest of the team being like, you let me down.
11:30So I'm all for that.
11:31That's a thumbs up.
11:33Get in.
11:34Double yeses.
11:35I was channeling, like Fraser, the spirit of Andrew with my first pitch, with a bit
11:39of a beat for beat, in the Women's War Games match.
11:43That is a match that is happening.
11:45Advantage Team Rio, as we know.
11:48So how do we get here?
11:50We get here in a fun old way, and it's a little treat for aged, decrepit wrestling fans like
11:57me, with a callback to War Games past.
12:00See if you can spot it.
12:01Okay, the match begins with Rhea Ripley and Asuka.
12:05They're your first two.
12:07Alexa Bliss enters second.
12:09As she's getting to the cage door, Asuka dropkicks the cage door.
12:13Alexa Bliss goes flying to the outside, bangs her head on the barricade.
12:16She's out.
12:17So the match continues one-on-one.
12:19But then, it is the second person on the baddies team, on the diddlers team.
12:24It's Kairi Zayn.
12:25So it's Kabuki Warriors versus Rhea Ripley.
12:28Two-on-one.
12:29This is not what we wanted to happen.
12:31But don't worry, because Eoskye is out next, and she manages to even the odds.
12:36It becomes two-on-two once again, and the match continues.
12:39Nia Jax heads towards the ring, but before she gets into the ring, she sees Alexa Bliss
12:43trying to get to her feet, and she's like, nah, that ain't happening.
12:47Drops her on the outside with a Samoan drop.
12:50Just boff.
12:51Drops her on the ground.
12:52Stay down.
12:53It's three-on-two now.
12:55Bliss hasn't even got in the match yet.
12:56What the hell's happening?
12:57Going on!
12:59AJ Lee out next.
13:01She evens it out.
13:02Big old house of fire.
13:03Team Rio getting some momentum here.
13:06Lash Legend heads to the ring next.
13:09As she's about to get into the ring, a very feisty Alexa Bliss, knackered from being beaten
13:14up by multiple people, leaps off the ring post, Luthe's press star, and starts wailing on
13:20Lash Legend, but Lash just like, get off me, you small woman, and five times into the
13:27barricade by Bliss has just had a terrible night.
13:30Just one barricade shot for each feet of height that she has.
13:34Five feet of fury, five feet of barricades.
13:37Honestly, it's brutal.
13:38But now it's four on three, so still the baddies with the advantage.
13:42Charlotte Flair is out next, but she does not go to the ring.
13:48She instead stays outside to check on Alexa Bliss.
13:52That's her best friend.
13:53Yeah, of course.
13:54She's like, are you all right?
13:55And she's down there checking on her.
13:56So the match continues as it is.
13:58Out goes Becky Lynch last for her team.
14:01She cusses out Charlotte Flair on her way to the ring.
14:05Obviously, there's a proper animosity between those two.
14:08And this just upsets Charlotte because she's like, I want to just rip her ginger hair off.
14:13That's what I want to do.
14:14She gets Alexa Bliss to her feet and she's like, right, come on.
14:17We're going.
14:17We need to get there.
14:19Eventually, this leads to the point where everyone's in the match all at once.
14:21And you've got the babyfaces and poor old Alexa Bliss, who's had a nightmare, all in there.
14:27And the match beyond can begin.
14:29And the babyfaces have weapons.
14:32The heels have weapons.
14:33And Charlotte Flair has her chair.
14:35And she cracks Alexa Bliss in the back with a chair.
14:38Oh, no.
14:40What the actual F?
14:43It was a set up all along.
14:45Charlotte Flair just wipes out her bestest friend.
14:48And Nia Jax's team just overwhelmed Team Rio at this point.
14:53Lash Legends pulls out handcuffs.
14:55And Sky gets handcuffed to the side.
14:58Everyone gets handcuffed to the side except for AJ Lee and Alexa Bliss.
15:03And they try and get a submission out of Alexa Bliss.
15:05But she's not tapping out.
15:06She's in the figure eight.
15:07She's not yielding.
15:08She's not yielding.
15:09Obviously, you can pin in this match.
15:10But, you know, the true spirit of all games is to get your opponent to yield.
15:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:15Do you yield?
15:16Do you yield?
15:17So, pinfalls.
15:19We don't try any.
15:20But we're just going for submissions at this point.
15:22And then Becky Lynch has an idea.
15:24Drops old AJ Lee with a manhandle slam.
15:26A lot of hatred between those two.
15:28And she drags AJ Lee towards the cage door.
15:32Lynch steps out of the cage.
15:33She places AJ Lee's head in the frame of the cage door.
15:37And she screams at Alexa Bliss, you submit now or I am sending AJ Lee back to retirement.
15:46Because she's had all those neck problems that retired her in the first place.
15:50And Alexa Bliss, like, between a rock and a hard place, just screams, okay, we quit.
15:55We quit.
15:56We quit.
15:56To try and save AJ Lee at this point.
15:58And the match ends.
16:00Bad guys win.
16:01Becky Lynch smiles.
16:03And whoopow!
16:04Closes the cage door on AJ Lee's neck.
16:08It's a marder.
16:09Oh, it's a marder.
16:11It's been a marder.
16:12Out comes medics.
16:13Out comes CM Punk.
16:14And AJ Lee's in a bad way.
16:16She's put on a gurney and taken out of there.
16:18And Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair step in the ring and they shake hands.
16:21Oh, no, Thomas.
16:22They have formed the most deadly of alliance.
16:26They hate each other so much.
16:29But you know who they hate more?
16:31Every bugger in the women's division.
16:34And it starts with AJ Lee.
16:36And they've taken her out.
16:37Might see her again around WrestleMania.
16:39You never know.
16:41Little call back for, again, the wrestling fans of a certain vintage, if you know it.
16:45I tip my hat to you.
16:46But that is my women's war games match, lads.
16:48Oh, I am conflicted.
16:50Because I love the hokey-cokey on a random Sunday afternoon in a little town hall.
16:54But I don't like the hokey-cokey in my wrestling booking.
16:58Oh, okay.
16:58And you're adding here to the hokey-cokey-ness of Charlotte Flair's booking in 2025.
17:02Because she was face.
17:04And then she was like, I don't want to be a part of it.
17:05I might be a heel again.
17:06And now she's like, oh, I'll do it for you.
17:07Alexa, I'm a face.
17:08And now we're back to be the heel again.
17:10I want us to whole ass one thing.
17:12And because of that, Tom, I want to give you a no.
17:14Oh, you monster.
17:15I want us to keep the, because the baby face stuff was working with Charlotte Flair until she was like,
17:19well, I'm not sure if I want to be in this war games match.
17:22Then everyone's like, oh, I don't know what we'll feel about her now.
17:24And then she's going back, oh, Alexa, I'll do it for you.
17:26And then it's like, yay, Charlotte Flair.
17:27And now it's boo, Charlotte Flair.
17:29That's why she said she was going to do it.
17:30Exactly.
17:30Hokey-cokey's belong in a town hall.
17:32Yeah, I kind of agree.
17:34It felt like for a while that we've just got to a point where Charlotte is on an actual path of something.
17:39And that's when you do the turn.
17:40That's when you do it.
17:42There's elements of it I like, and I think it could work, but I think it's too soon.
17:47If we hadn't had, I find it funny, the amount, like you, Bliss takes a shoe in.
17:53Bliss is just taking a bar in there.
17:55Someone needed to, I needed to.
17:57The thing is, when it's the baby face of the advantage, you need to do something to tip the axis.
18:02I think you could achieve a very similar thing without the Charlotte turn.
18:06I think, I think you could have it where instead of Charlotte turning on them, it's just Becky that's destroying.
18:13You could just do Becky with the door.
18:14You could still do that.
18:15Still get that element.
18:16Is that over egg in the pudding?
18:17I think maybe, but I'm giving it in the middle.
18:19I think I'm kind of in the middle on that one.
18:20So I like elements of it.
18:22All right.
18:22Right.
18:23Okay.
18:23We'll take that.
18:24Half a thumb.
18:25Sorry, Tom.
18:25Sorry, Tom.
18:25It should be.
18:27My next one is for the Women's World Championship match between Stephanie Faker and Nikki Bella.
18:32Now, during the match, it's quite clear that Stephanie is better than Nikki and is like destroying Nikki.
18:40Nikki seems quite battered.
18:42And there's one point where they get up on the turnbuckle and they have a sort of stalemate of strikes and Nikki falls to the outside of the ring.
18:47While the ref checks on Stephanie in the ring, Nikki rolls under the apron and then out comes.
18:53Oh, no.
18:54Almost.
18:57Almost in Nikki Bella gear.
19:00Yes.
19:01Yes.
19:01So it rolls out Nikki Bella, but looking much fresher and slightly different.
19:06The other Nikki Bella gets in the ring and hits a Bella buster on Stephanie.
19:10Now, Michael Cole is shouting, this isn't fair.
19:12It's clearly Brie Bella, where Wade Barrett is calling it ridiculous, slanderous.
19:16And it's particularly slanderous against one of the greatest of all time, Nikki Bella, who is very clearly in the ring right now.
19:23Now, Stephanie is no match for this alternate Nikki Bella, who appears to have done some training with Brian Danielson.
19:27And she starts doing a yes chant in the corner and then hitting a running knee.
19:31You see, Stephanie had trained and expected Nikki.
19:34But this person wrestling like Nikki, even though she's she's not actually Nikki, apparently, according to Michael Cole.
19:40Anyway, Nikki, she rolls to the outside, goes under the apron and then she comes back out.
19:46And then it's a rack attack and gets the win.
19:49She becomes the new women's world champion.
19:53Out of nowhere, Brie Bella just turns up.
19:56Wonder where she's been.
19:58Celebrates with her twin sister.
19:59And Stephanie is protesting to the ref that they switch places.
20:01That wasn't that wasn't Nikki.
20:03That was Brie that interfered.
20:05Now, this leads over to the Raw the next night or on Monday, two nights later, where Stephanie is out to prove that it was Brie and switch places with Nikki.
20:12Adam Pearce acknowledges it, says that there was something suspicious about it.
20:16We'd have to look at the tapes.
20:17He says that if Stephanie can beat the returning Brie Bella, who just so happens is returning this Monday in this.
20:25She's going, I'm going to I'm going to be there.
20:26I'm going to make my in ring return.
20:28She beats her.
20:28She'll get a shot at the title.
20:30And then this sets up the match between Stephanie and Nikki at Saturday Night's mid event for the title and allows the Bellas to then move off into the tag team scene.
20:38I just think we can mix it up a little bit.
20:40I don't want a Nikki long reign with the title.
20:42But if it's a catalyst to get the Bellas back in the tag division, I think it could be fun and could work.
20:48And I just want to hear Michael Cole and Wade Barrett Becker over if that's Brie Bella or not.
20:54That's clearly Nikki Bella.
20:56I call it Brie Bella.
20:57She's not as rusty.
20:59Exactly.
21:00Oh, it's a yes from me.
21:04Lovely bit of classic.
21:05Bella based belligerency.
21:08I'm all for it.
21:10Good alliteration there.
21:11Blessed.
21:12Yeah, I really enjoyed that.
21:13I like it.
21:13And do you know what?
21:14I'm not mad at a very short reign for Nikki Bella.
21:19Two weeks.
21:20Yeah.
21:20I kind of want to say that because the Nikki stands have been very spicy online and I don't wish to upset them any further.
21:28Nikki Bella is rubbish.
21:29The Bella army.
21:31Yes, she is.
21:31She is the worst of all time.
21:33That's Ross getting doxed.
21:34This is not 2015 anymore.
21:36We're 10 years on from that.
21:38I'll give it a yes though, Fraser, because of the Saturday Night's Main Event match that's coming up.
21:41Yeah.
21:41That had to be in there because that's pure poppycock.
21:44Oh no, she needs to win it back.
21:45To bring in some alliteration for you.
21:46Almost immediately.
21:47Yeah.
21:47Almost immediately.
21:48So yeah, it is poppycock to have Nikki Bella beat Stephanie Vickery.
21:51But it wasn't just her.
21:52It wasn't just her.
21:53I know.
21:53It was Brie.
21:54But under any circumstance.
21:55Yeah, true.
21:55Having that be in the history books.
21:57But it's going to get rectified straight away.
21:57I do feel horrible writing it.
21:59Yeah.
21:59I would have done it as well.
22:00Yeah, yeah.
22:01Steph's the best.
22:03Oh, am I a simp?
22:04What's going on?
22:06Right.
22:06I reckon there's room for one more match on this card, even though I'm very comfortable
22:10with it being four matches.
22:12You think the war games may be an hour each.
22:13Yeah.
22:14Put the two in there.
22:15Maybe another hour between them.
22:16But I reckon we can get another humper in there because it'll hump and we'll have a
22:20great time.
22:21Up the Americans with their humping.
22:23And I reckon this match will hump because it's being contested in this pitch.
22:27Over a chicken drumstick, which sounds stupid, but I've recently watched a game for the
22:33first time in many years, Cale and Chris Jericho and their cup of coffee.
22:36Yeah.
22:36And I reckon a drumstick in a tier list of food things goes above a cup of coffee, even
22:40though I love a cup of coffee.
22:41Yeah, yeah.
22:42So we're in catering on the pre-show and Tommaso Ciampa is eyeing up a very, very, very juicy
22:48looking drumstick.
22:49And we can all see it's a drumstick to die for.
22:51The light is bouncing off it in the right way.
22:53We can see that it's sucking.
22:54It's got a little bit of charring on top.
22:56Oh, yes.
22:58But just as he goes to get his paper plate ready to pick up his chicken drumstick, a
23:02hand comes in the shot from nowhere and takes what Ciampa thought was his.
23:07Oh, snap!
23:09We hear the crowd say in unison because this could be considered a hate crime for how great
23:14that chicken drumstick looked and how clearly Ciampa was going to pick up that drumstick.
23:19Ciampa's then right.
23:21That's it.
23:21I'm mad now!
23:23And he steps forward.
23:25And then we learn via a little bit of a camera shimmy that the person who picked up the drumstick
23:29or stole the drumstick, I should say, is United States champion Ilya Dragunov.
23:34You've ducked me long enough, says Tommaso Ciampa, and not Dragunov, which I realize that impersonation
23:38sounds a bit more like.
23:39But this is the final straw.
23:40Put that title on the line tonight, says Ciampa.
23:44And then Ilya Dragunov takes his time to answer.
23:46He says, with pleasure.
23:49Hum.
23:51I'm sorry.
23:51I love that you're Ilya Dragunov.
23:53This is Hercule Poirot.
23:55And then obviously Ilya with chicken drumstick and United States Championship.
23:59And he's sold us off like king of the castle, king of the castle.
24:03In the match itself, Ciampa rolls back the clock to 2018.
24:06And we have an absolute creamer with Ilya in that ring.
24:10It's fantastic.
24:12Pumping and creaming.
24:13Yeah.
24:14I was watching a guy on YouTube drinking Guinness.
24:16He was like, oh, that's a creamer.
24:18I was like, yeah, that's a great way to describe it.
24:21Bring that into wrestling.
24:21While he had the lip of like Guinness on there.
24:23Oh, fantastic.
24:24Ilya wins, of course.
24:25But after the match, while being consoled by Johnny Wrestling and Candice LeRae,
24:29Ciampa's like, screw you guys.
24:31I'm going home.
24:32Shove.
24:33And this season become a singles guy again.
24:35But also he descends into a deeper, darker man, like we saw in those black and gold days, baby.
24:40I don't know if I feel right about Ciampa's dark, brooding return to self is as the result of chicken drumstick.
24:49Close your eyes, Tom.
24:51Picture the chicken drumstick.
24:53I can picture it.
24:53Oh, the glisten of that.
24:55You know, the heat lamp they put above the machine.
24:57Oh, imagine that just bouncing off there.
24:59The tenderness.
25:00Is it like a fried chicken drumstick?
25:02No, no.
25:03It's like, it's not going to fall.
25:04These are restless.
25:05Of course.
25:06That's why I'm.
25:06That makes more sense.
25:07Yeah.
25:08There's an argument over the chicken.
25:10I can picture it.
25:11I've certainly seen worse storylines over items of food.
25:16This is, this is high up on there.
25:17Oh, it's fantastic.
25:18I would go mad for a chicken drumstick.
25:19For a chicken drumstick.
25:20I think that.
25:21The last one.
25:21Let's not forget.
25:22The last one.
25:23It's now or never.
25:24It is.
25:24We're not going to live forever.
25:25No, no.
25:26If it's the last one, I think it's an instant yes.
25:29Like, the comedy that we come from the chicken alone.
25:33Comedy?
25:34This is heartbreak.
25:35This is Shakespearean.
25:37Yeah.
25:37Yeah.
25:38Yeah.
25:38Yeah.
25:38Perfect.
25:39Art thou thy chicken wing.
25:40You have convinced me fully.
25:43I need this match to happen.
25:44At what point in the show does it happen?
25:46In the middle.
25:47I mean, I was going to say.
25:49I was just, I was curious as to, it was the last chicken drumstick.
25:52If it was on the kickoff show, I'd suggest that they've got a
25:55supply and demand issue if they've run out of chicken drumsticks
25:57before the main event, before the main show has started.
26:00I'm going to say yes.
26:01Why not?
26:02It gives us, quote unquote, a creamer between Ilya Dragunov and
26:06Tomasso Chamfer.
26:08I forgot what the guy's name was.
26:09He's like a middle-aged bloke and he just goes around
26:11sampling like stouts.
26:13I was watching him on the show.
26:13Sounds like me.
26:15And he's just like, his catarious was being, oh,
26:17that's an absolute creamer.
26:19Do you have a lot of creamers, Tom?
26:20Well, do you know what?
26:21It depends what night of the week it is.
26:25You're getting, oh, you're doing the speed.
26:27What's his name?
26:28There you go.
26:29Prime Mutton.
26:30There he is.
26:30Prime Mutton.
26:31I've just Googled Guinness creamer man.
26:33He does looks like a lot of fun.
26:38Yeah.
26:38He looks like.
26:41Wait till you see him, Joel.
26:42He looks like if a Mario cosplayer was going straight.
26:45I was going to say, Joel, stick a picture of Prime Mutton on
26:47there right now.
26:48Let us do.
26:49People at home can see him.
26:50He looks like a guy I want to hang out with.
26:52Me too.
26:52I want to hang out with Prime Mutton.
26:54I love watching the Guinness on his top lip and him just
26:56say, oh, that's an absolute creamer.
26:58It's a yes or me to Prime Mutton.
26:59Just for that.
27:00Yeah.
27:01Yeah.
27:01I think you've got two yeses.
27:02Yes.
27:03Yes.
27:04Okay.
27:04Mine takes place during the kickoff where the catering is
27:07plentiful.
27:08Yeah.
27:08Kathy Kelly's ringside with War Games legends Arn Anderson
27:12and Tully Blanchard.
27:14Ooh.
27:15Hey.
27:15And Arn is doing a bit of a long diatribe about the men
27:20and women that will never be the same after the match
27:22beyond.
27:23It changed my life.
27:24It took my career in a different trajectory.
27:25I lived in Cody's garden for several years.
27:28Carried a gun with me every day after War Games.
27:32They're interrupted by a man debuting on the main roster
27:35tonight.
27:36Josh Briggs.
27:37What?
27:38Josh Briggs.
27:40Or however his theme music goes.
27:42Josh Briggs.
27:43Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.
27:44Here he comes and he's just giving all the crap to the legends.
27:50Oh, look at you.
27:51You're old now.
27:52You're average at best.
27:54Oh, I'm Tully Blanchard.
27:56I'm a tag team wrestler.
27:58Loser.
27:59I'm Josh Briggs and I'm brilliant, which is his new catchphrase.
28:03And he says, I'm now on the main roster of WWE and this is the
28:07greatest Survivor Series debut of all time.
28:12It's better than The Rock.
28:14It's better than Kurt Angle.
28:16It's better than, dong, did me and walking.
28:21Who could that be?
28:21Oh, that's right.
28:22It's Kurt Angle.
28:24It's The Undertaker.
28:26American badass style.
28:28Out he comes on his big big American flag.
28:32Supports our troops.
28:34He comes around the corner.
28:36Round he goes, listen to my podcast.
28:38The Michelle McCool podcast starring The Undertaker.
28:42Listen to that for a bit.
28:44Gets in the ring, sizes up Josh Briggs and Josh is like, I'm not afraid of you.
28:48I'm Josh Briggs and I'm...
28:50Stops, cut off by a hand around the throat and a big old chokeslam.
28:56And Undertaker shakes his head and heads off.
28:59I don't know, back to catering to see if there's any chicken drumsticks left.
29:02That's it.
29:02That's because it's Survivor Series.
29:05I think if I'm right, it's the 35th anniversary of The Undertaker.
29:09We've got to squeeze him in there somehow.
29:11And this is how we do it.
29:13Welcome to the main roster, Josh Briggs.
29:15Thanks for coming to The Undertaker.
29:17Listen to the Michelle McCool podcast with Mark Halloway.
29:19I was with you till brilliant Josh Briggs made his debut.
29:23But that's second half.
29:25I'll have to give you a bar.
29:27The disrespect to the greatest Survivor Series debut of all time, the Gobbledygooker.
29:30That's the disrespect right there.
29:32If he'd come out and had a go with Josh Briggs.
29:35Oh, I wish I thought of that.
29:36Do you want to change it?
29:37I'll give you a yes if you go.
29:39Tell you what, Gobbledygooker comes out and wants to do the turkey dance, turkey in the
29:43straw with Josh Briggs.
29:45And he's like, oh, I'm up for it, I'm up for it.
29:46Nah, oh, Harriet takes the Gobbledygooker head off.
29:48Now it's the best.
29:50Cue all that Undertaker stuff.
29:51No, I'm like that, though.
29:52No, no.
29:54Gobbledygooker.
29:55Watch LFG.
29:56Season 3.
29:57We've had chicken, we'll have turkey.
29:58There you go.
29:59I'll say a yes to the Gobbledygooker.
30:00Yes, we've added the Gobbledygooker.
30:02Yeah, I'm fully on, because I think JB's good.
30:05Yes, that's right.
30:06That's why he's deserving of getting emasculated by the Undertaker.
30:10His promos have got worse over the years, but his wrestling, he's like a test of the
30:12modern day, right?
30:13He really is.
30:13I'm not even taking the piss if you don't watch NXT.
30:15So him being on the main roster, I think it's about time, about damn time, as Lizzo said.
30:19And this is how we do it?
30:20Yeah.
30:20It's Lizzo.
30:21But they are Undertaker.
30:22Does he get a win over the Undertaker?
30:23You're wanting that to happen.
30:24Of course not.
30:25They never mentioned it ever again.
30:27You want that to happen?
30:28It's what we want to happen.
30:30The Undertaker chokeslams a young up-and-comer and walks away.
30:33And gives him a new...
30:33Hey, hey, I'll tell you what.
30:35Did it hurt Brom Breaker?
30:36No.
30:37Exactly.
30:38But this is brilliant Brom Breaker making his debut in Survivor Series.
30:41Brilliant Josh Briggs.
30:42Josh Briggs.
30:43Jesus Christ.
30:44This is brilliant.
30:44This is...
30:45I'm Josh Briggs and I'm brilliant.
30:46He's got new catchphrases as well.
30:47I'm Josh Briggs and I'm brilliant.
30:48You've repackaged him completely.
30:49It's a bar from me.
30:50I just push that and give it.
30:51That second half is woeful.
30:53How dare you?
30:54Yeah.
30:54I'm right in the middle of that one.
30:57You've been boring since you've become woke.
30:59My last one.
31:05I feel I've really channeled Andrew for this one.
31:06I've got quite a few things on this one.
31:08Oh my God.
31:08There's multiple pages.
31:10There's multiple pages ahead just now.
31:11This is about the men's war games match.
31:14It's about whether Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Roman Reigns can coexist.
31:17Obviously, the heels have the advantage going into the match
31:19and are dominated by cocky Logan Paul and Bronson Reed
31:22who are just destroying Jamie Uso.
31:24Naturally, when it takes time to come to even up the match,
31:27Jamie Uso's next in.
31:28They do their classic tag team stuff.
31:30Doesn't last long.
31:31Drew joins the match.
31:32Him and Bronson Reed are sort of,
31:33he's directing traffic and Bronson Reed isn't too keen on Drew
31:36sort of being the one that's telling them what to do
31:38because Drew's like, hey, hey, look, I'm a veteran.
31:40I've been here before.
31:41And Bronson's like, well, I've been here before.
31:42I've been in a war games match.
31:44We cut to the cages while the countdown is nearing zero
31:46and Reigns steps forward to go and support the Usos
31:48who are being beaten down.
31:50But Punk puts his arm across Reigns like Reigns did to him last year
31:54and lets Cody go to the ring.
31:55So Cody storms to the ring to fight Drew.
31:59He manages to get a little bit of momentum going for the faces.
32:02They do back and forth, Cody cutters, all that sort of stuff.
32:05But back in the heels cage at the top of the ramp,
32:07Brom Breaker and Brock Lesnar are getting fired up
32:09and they're kind of fighting between themselves as to who's to go next.
32:13Breaker then literally breaks the door off its hinges
32:16and runs full force to the ring.
32:18He gets in the ring or he grabs a bunch of weapons from under the ring,
32:21chucks them in.
32:22He then climbs inside and does like a suicide dive
32:24over the ropes to the other ring and just spears,
32:28who have I said, Jey Uso in the other ring.
32:32He basically takes everyone down.
32:34Logan Paul gets past the mic at one point by Paul Heyman,
32:36cuts a promo during the match while everyone's down,
32:39all the faces are down, basically doing the usual.
32:41They're all great and San Diego's crap, all the usual stuff.
32:44He turns his attention to Punk and Reigns are in the cage waiting to enter.
32:48After Punk blocked Reigns from entering earlier,
32:51they're now at each other's throats and the countdown is on.
32:53Punk is looking like he's going to enter next.
32:55And then another callback, because we all love callbacks,
32:57Reigns pushes past him and is the next one to enter the match.
33:01He comes in, gets face to face with Brom Breaker.
33:04It looks like they're going to have a brawl,
33:05but then Drew hits with a Claymore out of nowhere.
33:07The heels stay on top until it's time for Punk to enter.
33:12While the Usos are, yeah, well, Punk to enter.
33:15James, who does that really annoying thing when he runs the entrance back during the match.
33:20So he does that.
33:21All right, that'd be good if you were there live.
33:23It would be fun, but if you're like 20 minutes into a War Games match
33:27and he starts doing it, but he climbs to the top of the cage
33:31where they've got the little platform and starts yeeting to the entire crowd.
33:34And then it's time for Brock Lesnar to make his entrance and join the match.
33:38So he comes down, climbs to the top of the cage.
33:41Everyone is in the ring, standing, fighting, just waiting for a spot to happen.
33:44It's, you know, conveniently placed.
33:47Brock picks up Jay from the top of the cage,
33:49F5s him into the cage onto the mass of people,
33:52similar to what he did to Austin Theory at the chamber a few years ago.
33:56Only Brock remains standing.
33:57Everyone else is down, can't move.
33:59Punk is making his way to the ring now.
34:00He walks to the ring while Brock paces back and forth,
34:03waiting for him to arrive.
34:04Punk pulls out a kendo stick from under the ring,
34:06enters the cage and just gets hit with suplex after suplex after suplex.
34:10Punk manages to escape from one German,
34:12which gives him an opening.
34:13He hits him with a kendo stick in the midsection,
34:15rocks him because he's got the diverticulitis issues in the past.
34:18Cody hits a Cody cutter on Brock, but he gets back up.
34:21Superman punch from rain, causes Brock to head to one knee.
34:24He gets back up.
34:25The Usos hit him with a double super kick and Punk looks to pin him,
34:27but he kicks out.
34:28Faces can't believe it and the heels are now back into the match
34:30and taking the fight to each member of the opposite team.
34:33Match goes on, but eventually rains inadvertently spears CM Punk
34:36when Logan Paul leapfrogs over a spear attempt.
34:39So just completely jumps over the spear.
34:41I know, right?
34:43Logan, having just leaped over rain,
34:45sees Bron Breaker in the opposite corner running at him.
34:48Is he going for Logan Paul?
34:50Who knows?
34:51But Logan jumps over another spear.
34:53And Breaker spears rains, taking him down.
34:57What?
34:57Yeah, yeah.
34:58Cody and the Usos are the only ones remaining.
35:00Drew and Logan and Cody brawl in one ring,
35:01while the Usos fight off Brock, Bron Breaker,
35:03and Bronson Reed in the other.
35:04It gets to the point where Jimmy Uso is the only one left standing,
35:06and he gets hit with an F5, but Heyman orders Bronson to pick Jimmy up.
35:10He holds him up as Breaker begins running full speed between the ropes.
35:14Jay pushes Jimmy out of the way and eats a spear from Bron Breaker.
35:18Bron covers Jay Uso to get the win for the heels in war games.
35:21After the match, Brock and Bron Breaker have some words and start fighting
35:24because Brock isn't happy that Heyman told him to, like,
35:28continue the match after he'd won it for the team.
35:30While we leave, they get a shot of CM Punk, Roman Reigns,
35:33and Cody Rhodes staring each other down while Punk holds the world title,
35:36Cody holds the WWE title,
35:37and Reigns shouting that he's coming for the gold,
35:39but doesn't specify who.
35:42There's a lot there.
35:43He's still tantalizing us after we're all Roman Reigns.
35:45Yeah, yeah.
35:46You guys figure it out.
35:47Exactly.
35:48He said.
35:48He does.
35:49Yeah, he does.
35:51So when the cage door is broken off,
35:54the holding cage door,
35:55all the heels come in, yes?
35:57You can't have them stood there.
35:59They patiently wait.
36:00Hit the bus stop.
36:01Good boys.
36:02So in my head,
36:03it's a case that Paul Heyman has told them,
36:05told Brock,
36:06and Brock is in no rush to get to the ring
36:08because he's not paid.
36:09He's paid by the minute, you know?
36:11He doesn't want to have more wrestling than he needs to be.
36:14So he's patiently waiting after the door is broken.
36:18The evolution of Brock's character is like,
36:20I just want to destroy everybody too.
36:22Hang on.
36:22Not until I'm on the clock.
36:23Yeah, that's essentially what it comes down to.
36:25Maybe the door is just kicked open and shut again.
36:28I was going to say,
36:29because if they're just waiting there
36:30with a big hole in the door.
36:31In my head,
36:32it was the holding door.
36:34Braun has done what he does
36:35where he kicks the thing in half in his entrance
36:37and he opens it.
36:38So maybe it's swing shot again.
36:39All right.
36:40And Brock is stuck in there.
36:42The only potential thing letting it down
36:43is he has to be outside of it.
36:44My concern would be
36:45Brock Lesnar's F5 off the cage,
36:48considering that he fell over his own feet on Raw.
36:50And he ripped his own trousers recently.
36:53I would be somewhat reticent
36:54to let him like 30 feet in the air
36:57to throw another man onto other men.
36:58High risk, high reward.
37:00Yeah, I think high risk, high risk.
37:02And if he fell over,
37:03that gives Ross content for WTF.
37:05So, you know, check out on Patreon.
37:07Give us a WTF moment
37:08and depending on how it goes,
37:10several news videos.
37:11It was a sick backwards road.
37:13I don't know what people's issue is with it.
37:15That's sarcasm on my behalf.
37:17He'll be showing off his agility.
37:18That's what it was.
37:20I'll give it a yes anyway.
37:22It's a well put together.
37:23A bit of war games nonsense.
37:24That's a mystery phrase.
37:25Yeah, yeah.
37:25Very detailed.
37:26I channeled Andrew.
37:27You did, I?
37:28Or did Andrew send it in to you?
37:31I don't know why I sent it in.
37:32Maybe.
37:32He might have.
37:33He didn't.
37:33He's away, Andrew.
37:34He is away.
37:34He's away.
37:35All right.
37:35John Cena vs. Don Mysterio
37:37for the IC title
37:38is going down on this card
37:39I've written down for some reason.
37:41And I would like it to see
37:41the story that played out
37:42on this week's Raw
37:43come full circle.
37:44Because I know everybody watching
37:46was such a fan of what we saw.
37:48It's not 30 years past itself by date.
37:50But any imagination.
37:51Want to see it come full circle?
37:53I'm here to give that to you today.
37:54Because of the bad blood
37:55between the pair
37:56this match has made
37:57no disqualifications
37:57which is really handy
37:58for the pitch I'm about to give you.
38:01The match is going along
38:02and as you would expect
38:02John Cena's on top
38:04and Dahmer's hanging in there
38:05cheating as he does
38:06as and when he can do so.
38:08Halfway through the match
38:09the lights in the arena
38:10they go out.
38:12Oh no.
38:13And John Cena's music
38:15starts playing
38:15while we're in pitch darkness.
38:17Pitch darkness?
38:18Pitch blackness.
38:18Pitch blackness.
38:19Yes.
38:20And at the top of the ramp
38:21when the lights come back on
38:22we see everybody's favourite
38:24WWE superstar
38:25Mini John Cena.
38:29Little John saunters down the ramp
38:31like King of the Castle.
38:33He gets to the ringside area
38:34on the entrance side ramp
38:36and Dom is shouting
38:37what are you doing man?
38:38This wasn't part of the plan.
38:39Nobody told you to come here.
38:41You're effing on me
38:42for a second time in a week.
38:44Little John's like
38:45shut up Dom
38:46and he does a big comedy whistle.
38:48I can't do it
38:49so I'm not going to bother.
38:50And then John Cena's music
38:51starts playing again.
38:53Shades of Wrestlemania 25
38:55happen
38:55as an army
38:57of Little Johns
38:58come out
38:58not the rapper
38:59and they're all running
39:02in a straight line
39:03down the ramp
39:03as fast as their
39:04little legs would take them.
39:10Little legs would take them.
39:11The original Little John Cena
39:15enters the centre
39:16of the ringside area
39:17at the bottom of the entranceway
39:19but facing back
39:19towards the Tron.
39:20I'm going to paint a picture
39:22because obviously this goes
39:22on the audio feed.
39:23He takes up a pose
39:25like he's ready to catch
39:26a large wheel of cheese.
39:28So for YouTube
39:29he's like this.
39:31Just picture if you're
39:32on the audio.
39:33Arms out.
39:34Yeah.
39:34Ready to catch.
39:36Ready to catch.
39:37As the army
39:38of Little Cenas
39:39run towards
39:40the OG Little John
39:41at great speed
39:41a vortex opens up
39:43inside the chest cavity
39:44of the OG Little John
39:45and the other
39:46Little Johns
39:47disappear inside of him.
39:49Because of this
39:49the army of Little Cenas
39:51make the OG Cena
39:52grow into a giant Cena
39:53like we're watching
39:54Shrek 2
39:55and this is a brother
39:56of the giant
39:56gingerbread man.
39:58This super Cena
39:59is at least
40:0020 feet tall
40:01and has got to weigh
40:01close to
40:021,000 pounds in weight
40:04but
40:04because this is
40:05the first time
40:06the Little Cenas
40:07have become a super Cena
40:08the OG Little Cena
40:09who was making up
40:10the outer shell
40:11of this new
40:12super structure
40:12isn't used to
40:13the extra weight
40:14so he starts to topple
40:15backwards
40:16I can't balance
40:17what are you saying?
40:20Bit in slow motion.
40:21Yeah.
40:21I can't balance
40:24and in the process
40:25of stumbling about
40:29he goes back
40:30a little bit too far
40:31because he's facing
40:31the Tron
40:32he trips over
40:33the top rope
40:34and falls backwards
40:35inside the ring
40:37in the process
40:38of falling backwards
40:38this new super Cena
40:39structure lands
40:40on Dom Mysterio
40:41like Big Show
40:42land on William Regal
40:43in the very funny spot
40:44in the early 90s
40:44on SmackDown
40:45I believe.
40:46Yeah, I remember that.
40:47The real John Cena
40:47is like, what?
40:48Oh, hell no.
40:49Hold up.
40:50Huh?
40:51Oh, okay.
40:52And stands on top
40:53of the broken super Cena
40:54who is on top of Dom
40:55and in the process
40:56the referee counts to three
40:57it's no disqualification.
40:58Yeah, it counts.
40:59Dom is pinned by John
41:00and John retains the title.
41:01This is a full circle moment
41:02because little Cena
41:03little Cena
41:05going into business
41:06for himself on Raw
41:06was the actual ruse.
41:08Yep.
41:08Dom's master plan
41:09on Sunday
41:10is the thing
41:10that actually blew up
41:11in his face.
41:11Right, got you.
41:12Yep.
41:13It's a full circle moment.
41:14Well,
41:15because I wasn't happy
41:16with little Cena
41:16going into business
41:17for himself on Raw
41:17but now I'm happy here.
41:20Cena can vacate the title
41:21if he wants to
41:22because I don't think
41:22we need the IC title
41:23in line in this final match ever
41:24against whoever wins the tournament.
41:25That's fine by me
41:26but I don't think
41:27people will see this coming
41:27whereas I do think
41:29a lot of us are expecting
41:30Dom to win on Sunday.
41:32Yeah.
41:32I feel ashamed of my pitch.
41:35No, because that's...
41:36It's been a while
41:36since I've done a silly one.
41:38There's no point
41:39in having any other pitches
41:41because that's masterful.
41:43I was hoping
41:45that the super Cena
41:47would fall on top of Dom
41:48and the stupid ref would go
41:50oh, one, two, three.
41:52Cena wins.
41:52I'm fine with that ending as well.
41:54That's definitely John Cena.
41:55I think that tops
41:56the George Mizanin
41:58turning into Chips.
41:58Oh, I don't know
41:59about that phrase.
42:00I think that
42:01the enthusiasm
42:01of this one
42:03and how relevant it is
42:05it's perfect.
42:06That's my great expectations
42:07that George Mizanin
42:08and Chips story.
42:08It is a beautiful story
42:10but I think you might have
42:11at least matched it.
42:13You know,
42:13this is your Empire Strikes Back
42:14to your new hope.
42:16I don't know what that is.
42:18It's an instant yes.
42:21Double yes for me.
42:22The little John Cena's
42:24running to the ring.
42:25And then it become a big one.
42:26Then a big John Cena.
42:2810 on 10.
42:28Incredible.
42:30Good luck.
42:31Funny don't make money.
42:34Right.
42:35So mine's a...
42:36I don't know,
42:37it's tough to follow
42:38but right.
42:38See if you've done
42:39the exact same thing.
42:44Little John Cena.
42:46All right.
42:47Not the full War Games
42:48match for the men
42:49but a little bit
42:50from what I'd like to see
42:50because Bronson Reed
42:52injured himself
42:53in War Games,
42:54didn't he?
42:54Yeah.
42:55Doing the big old splash
42:56of the tsunami
42:57off the top.
42:58So he's got some demons
42:59to exorcise here.
43:01A couple of times
43:01in the match
43:02he teases going up
43:03to the top
43:03but he just can't
43:04and eventually
43:08an opportunity
43:08presents itself
43:09with Jimmy Uso
43:10laid out in the
43:11centre of the ring
43:12and everybody else down
43:13and Bronson
43:14just stands there
43:14and he goes
43:16this is it
43:17and he climbs up
43:17and the crowd
43:18are cheering
43:18and the crowd are cheering
43:18and they're climbing up
43:19and climbing up
43:19and climbing up
43:20and he gets up there
43:21and he looks around
43:22and everybody
43:23and he leaps
43:24soon up!
43:28Time stops?
43:29This is preposterous
43:32This is poppycock
43:33And only Bronson Reed
43:36Everyone stops
43:37because time has stopped
43:38It's Bronson Reed
43:39and Paul Heyman
43:39They're the only ones
43:40for whom time hasn't stopped
43:41Obviously Bronson's
43:42in mid-air
43:42They're Bernard
43:43Yeah, they're Bernard
43:44Bernard's watch
43:45Yeah, because Paul's
43:46wearing Bernard's watch
43:47and Bronson's wearing
43:49William's Wish Wellington
43:50and Heyman's
43:52and Heyman says
43:53like
43:53Bron, what are you doing?
43:55He's in Madeira
43:56Why have you stopped time?
43:57And Bronson says
44:00I've foreseen the future
44:01The chance of injury here
44:02is 90%
44:03and I can't go through
44:05all that again
44:06So it's not going to happen
44:09But Paul Heyman says
44:10but therefore it means
44:11that you will permanently
44:13and we all will live
44:14permanently in limbo
44:15And Bronson says
44:17Yeah, but then
44:18I'll never be injured
44:19But Paul Heyman says
44:21I understand that
44:23But, you know
44:25with anything
44:25there's always injury concern
44:26and whilst it's true
44:27you'll never be injured
44:28there's no chance
44:29of anything ever happening
44:30ever again
44:30Nothing grows from here
44:33Nothing moves forward
44:34Whilst you're safe
44:36from your demons
44:37currently mid-tsunami
44:39you'll never again know
44:41growth
44:42You'll never again know momentum
44:43Nothing moves forward
44:45in this particular place
44:46because the biggest changes
44:49in life that you face
44:50are beyond fear
44:51and the fear
44:53is what keeps you still
44:54But Bronson's like
44:55Yeah, but if I'm here
44:56then I definitely
44:56don't get hurt
44:57Nothing, you know
44:58Nothing will ever hurt me
44:59Yeah, but then nothing
45:00will ever happen again
45:01You have to understand
45:03whilst you're safe
45:04from your demons here
45:05you can't grow
45:07Life does not continue
45:08beyond the perpetual unknown
45:09You may feel it's better
45:11to never truly know
45:13but true peace lies
45:14on the other side
45:15of discomfort
45:16And sometimes
45:18when you face those things
45:20and you're terrified of them
45:22the only way
45:24to progress in life
45:26is to face them
45:27to feel the fear
45:29and do it anyway
45:30And Bronson Reed's
45:32got a tear in his eye
45:33and he says
45:33but what if it's bad?
45:35What if everything goes wrong?
45:36And Paul Heyman goes
45:37what if everything goes right?
45:39Is this your way of saying
45:40you're leaving
45:41Cold at Holidays?
45:41And it's with that
45:43I announce
45:44my resignation
45:46from Cold to Holidays
45:47Paul adds
45:49it could go wrong
45:50but it could go right
45:51and you won't know
45:52until you restart time
45:53and you hit the ground
45:55and Bronson Reed
45:56agrees
45:58you're right
45:58and I'm going to do
45:59what's really uncomfortable
46:00and with that
46:01time restarts
46:03he allows himself to fall
46:05He's fine
46:07He hits Jimmy
46:07crushes his bones
46:08but gets a two count
46:09But now he knows
46:11now he knows
46:13At least we know
46:14See in that moment
46:16where it freezes
46:16is everyone that's frozen
46:18aware that time is frozen
46:19No they're just frozen
46:20So in theory
46:20this could happen
46:21and we'd never know
46:22You'd never know
46:23but Bronson would know
46:24because he's the one
46:25that's been battling it
46:26and Paul Heyman would know
46:27and he's the one
46:28Then I'm for it
